The suspect, identified as 41-year-old Gerome Alexander Quigley Jr. of Montgomery Village, faces two counts each of first- and second-degree attempted murder, among other charges, including the use of a prohibited high-capacity magazine. Police apprehended Quigley after finding his gray Volkswagen stuck in a snow-covered median, with signs of impairment observed at the scene. He is currently detained at the Frederick County Central Booking facility.
Shortly after 2:30 a.m., authorities received reports of a shooting on westbound Route 340 near Jefferson.
